Acute Invasive Aspergillosis Treatment Market Drivers
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the epidemiology of invasive aspergillus infection is dependent upon increasing number of solid organ transplants, stem cell transplant, and newer immunosuppressive agents, 2017. According to Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), around 8,500 organ transplants have been performed in 2018 and the number is expected to grow in the near future. These factors are expected to support the growth of the acute invasive aspergillosis treatment market. Patients who undergo organ transplant procedure are often prescribed immunosuppressant medications, which increases their susceptibility to aspergillosis infection. Similarly, patients in the advanced stages of AIDS are also highly susceptible to opportunistic infections such as aspergillosis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 36.7 million people were found suffering from HIV in 2016. Extended use of corticosteroids further weakens the immune system, thus increasing the risk of developing such infections. This in turn, is increasing the demand for acute invasive aspergillosis treatment over the forecast period. According to British Infection Association, the high risk population for invasive aspergillosis includes patients who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), autologous HSCT patients, solid organ transplant patients as well as AIDS patients, patients suffering from acute myeloid leukaemia, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, chronic myeloid leukaemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and myeloma patients. According to WHO, Cancer is the second-leading cause of death globally, and the disease caused 8.8 million deaths in 2015. Rising incidence of various types of cancers, is in turn expected to support growth of the global acute invasive aspergillosis treatment market.
However, drug resistance to antifungal medications is widely witnessed during treatment of aspergillosis infections, which is expected to restrain growth of the acute invasive aspergillosis treatment market over the forecast period.
